I know I am way to early to be thinking about storing our produce but..............
Reading the instructions on my BNS seed packet it says the harvested BNS 'will store well if kept in a frost free area'.

What exactly do they mean by a 'frost free area'?

I have a brick built detached garage with a tile roof that is dry and damp free, but as you can imagine it does get cold in the winter. Is this what they mean by a 'frost free area' or do they mean an area that doesn't go below a certain temperature.

just frost free is not warm enough IMO
I had some in the brick lean-to last winter and they didn't store very well.
The year before they were all in the unheated spare bedroom and they lasted a lot longer

I think Butter Nut Squash.
Try them in your loft, under your loft insulation.
Heat coming up from house will keep them frost free.

I prefer to keep them in direct sunlight in a polycarb roofed closed porch.
They need to be well ventilated and i`m sure the Ultra Violet light in sunshine keeps mould spores from growing.
I still have half a dozen squash that are in top condition after another cold winter although the seeds inside  normally start to sprout in May.
